Ivy: Here you go, Little Red. It is... 📕

Ivy: The Book of Wishes. LRRH: It is so cute! With this I can keep track of people's wishes! Vivi: If that's all you wanted couldn't you use any notebook? LRRH: Yes, but a gift makes it a special treasure. Thank you, Ivy! Little Red Riding Hood thanks Ivy. Ivy: Actually it is more than just a notebook. Try opening it.

---

LRRH: Wow, it already has people's wishes in it! ** (Book shows Red's wish) ** // Red's overall wish: A culture of fulfilling wishes // Resolution 1: A simple story book // Resolution 2: Routine with Quest Ivy: Every page is a screen connected to the backend. ** (Book shows Ivy's wish) ** // Ivy's overall wish: Populate Book of Knowledge // Ivy's Resolution: Have it used as a reference. That is so overkill. LRRH: Vivi, what is your wish? Vivi: I won't bother myself with that. Besides, wasn't there a saying that if you tell others your wish, then it won't come true? LRRH: The saying is there, but I tell my wish and people help me fulfill it. So if you tell me yours I will help you make it true. Vivi: If you tell others your wish, you also let others sabotage it. Right, Vivi had a very game-of-throne-y life. But it's okay. There is a lot of time for you to decide what you want to do from now on. LRRH: When Kisaragi came she also had no clue. She stayed and everything works out fine. It has been almost a year now. Vivi: So has she found her wish?

---

Kisaragi: My wish? I wish to stay here and keep cooking for everyone. Zero ambition. LRRH: If your wish is simple, you will be happy every day. Kisaragi: Since everyone seems to be making a book, maybe I should make one too. That'd be awesome! LRRH: Vivi, that reminds me, since I know you and you are talking to me in this book, you have earned some credits. I should show you on the board too. Vivi: I don't get the enthusiasm about the quests. It's not like there's any real reward for doing it… LRRH: Vivi you have 3 points. The graph shows you at the bottom. But this is not a competition. Everyone starts at the bottom. **Disturbed** Who is Ledia? She is a paladin that comes sometimes. She doesn't live here... I don't think you have ever met her. ** Sulks and walks out of the room **

---

LRRH: Ivy, what was that about? Vivi was a queen. She is not used to seeing herself at the bottom. She wants to beat Ledia. In scores, I meant. Should we not show the scores of new people? There is no problem with the leaderboard. It is functioning as designed. ** (Just as planned) **

Tanya: The subtitle “100 ways to do good and feel good about it” doesn't match the contents listed in the TOC. What do you really want to include in this book? Natalie: I want to make a book about doing good. It is good for others and a great source of happiness. It gives people purpose and energy. I want to share this to those who have not discovered this hobby in life, and help those who are already doing it to keep doing it without getting burned out. Tanya: I think the purpose of your book is to motivate in two stages: 1. To persuade the reader from doing nothing to doing good; and 2. To reward someone who is doing good with tips to keep going. Are you okay with the book having only these two parts instead of the current five parts? Yes Tanya: You could still mention the definition and concepts in passing, but they don't need their own sections since they are not the focus. The focus of the first part is on someone who has not been doing good or doesn't know that they have been doing good. I wonder how to actually go about persuading someone who is doing nothing to do good. To me it is like a game. But you are self-motivated. The question is how would someone become self-motivated? Sasha: How about we bring the game to them? If you give yourself a pat in the back, then we will give them a pat in the back when they do something good. That could get them started. Then once they get used to it, they would start patting themselves. "Natalie: Bring the game to them. I think that is a great idea, Sasha. “Challenge yourself to become a better self.” New organization: Part 1: From doing nothing to doing good. Part 2: From doing good to doing better." Sasha: Natalie, I just read what P4 talked about regarding her music book. She said instead of aiming to write about what she wants others to know, she will write what she finds useful for herself. So I was wonder, if you write this book, does it help you? Natalie: Not really, it is second nature. And it is not like I would carry a book around when I try to do something. That seems like a red flag. If what you are trying to write is not useful for you, it might end up being not useful to anyone. Hmm… I see. Evelyn: I think this book or the topic is useful for me. A little bit earlier, I was trying to write a manual on when to and how to response to online discussions. But that content doesn't really fit with what I want to write about in my book, which is happiness. I think the manual content would fit really well here. Umm. Then aren't you hijacking Natalie's project? I don't mind, the more the merrier. We get MORE points for having more participants! And, rules of engagement is a paladin concept. Tanya: If you are accepting topics, I would want to read an actual paladin manual. Then you could keep your tone and talk about the subject like a recruiter. Natalie: Book of Paladins! I think that topic is more intuitive to me. Tanya: What is your perspective on being a paladin? Natalie: Paladins are both at the frontline and last line of defending peace. We de-escalate and end physical confrontations. We stop fights. We watch for and eliminate physical threats. We encourage everyone to be aware of threats because an alert citizenry keeps everyone safe. Are you the police? What is the difference? Paladins do not exist to “enforce the law”. We only exist for mutual protection. Everyone can be a paladin and get paladin certificates and do paladin quests. Again, we encourage everyone to train and get paladin skills. Even if you don't do paladin quests, your understanding what we do makes paladin quests easier. Sasha: I don't really like doing physical things though. Natalie: But you would be interested in solving crimes yes? Ooo murder mysteries!!! Evelyn: We are kids! 😖 I didn't say anything. She already knew. Sasha: Evelyn is more like the police than Natalie. That is the kind of protection I don't need. I am sorry. I don't mean it in a bad way. I appreciate your trying to look after me, but I am strong and I can decide for myself what I don't like. Natalie: Independence is strong with this one. That is a great trait to be a paladin. Sasha the detective! I like the sound of that! Natalie: And Evelyn too. Evelyn is always cautious and has a keen eye to keep everyone safe. It is better to offer help and be rejected than to not offer at all to avoid rejections. Evelyn has her priorities right. Being so reliable and consistent are also highly sought traits to be paladins. 😊 Being able to see relevant skills in people is a good trait as a recruiter. Natalie: Yes, the ever observant Tanya. We can count on Tanya to notice the smallest clue at a crime scene. Hold on, who makes the better detective? Tanya or I? Both, of course. Paladins work together and value healthy rivalry. Good competition brings the best work out of everyone. I hope something happens so we have a mystery to solve. Just saying.

Black: Oh, the desk. I haven't made up my mind because I planned to put a keyboard on a shorter desk under a desk. I think that it would help my posture, but I am not sure that I could type without looking at the keyboard. Red: That seems like a very easy test. Let's find something to cover your hands over the keyboard… There. Now no one can see your hands, or the keyboard. Try typing something. Black: It looks a bit intimidating. But apparently I can still type. I am not sure about the punctuations though. I don't know where the punctuation marks are… And there is not keypad, so typing number is also a problem. Evelyn: But is it more comfortable this way? Black: Yes it is. And less distracting because I don't see my moving fingers. Evelyn: Do you feel that you can memorize the other keys? Black: Possibly. I just realized that I can type the question mark without thinking where it is. I still can't type numbers accurately. Red: I have an idea. How about you take a picture of the keyboard and put it on top of the top table. Then if you really forget where a key is you can just see that. Black: That's a good idea. Or I could get a full-sized keyboard with a keypad. Let try first. Hmm… Looking at a photo isn't working all that well. I need to type many numbers. Being able to type numbers is important. Red: Full size keyboard then. Black: I really don't like full size keyboard though. It makes the mouse really far from the keyboard. Why didn't they make a keypad on the left side? Evelyn: You can get a separate keypad. Red: I got another idea. You can add texture to the number keys. If you can feel where 3 and 8 are, the other number keys are just two spaces from them. Black: That's interesting. Let me put some tapes on… That is working quite well. Give me some random number to try. 1925.8 3706.3 5287.6 Black: It is faster than without tape, but still very slow. I might keep another keyboard on top where I can see just in case. But if I keep using that all the time it would be waste to get the shorter desk. Evelyn: I think it is worth trying though. Even if you don't need the desk, I am sure it is useful in other ways. Black: We already have other desks like that that no one uses. This one that I want to get is just shorter so that it could fit under the desk. Red: Then are we forgetting something? The desk has wheels! If you really need to see your hands, you could just pull out the keyboard or the desk more. Black: That's true. But doing that would add about a foot between me and the screen. Evelyn: I think it is still worth trying. Black: And I still can't decide… Red: Black is that kind of person. He has problem deciding to spend money on himself. So if it were free that you would have tried? Yes. V: There is a free table. This one. Next to the piano. It is pretty short. Black: I forgot about this. It is the right height, but it has this ledge at the edge. It would get into the way of typing. And it has no wheels. If I try pulling it, it will probably make a horrible noise. V: You could pad it up. Black: I also have the alternative of just raising my seat. Then I don't need to buy any desk or keyboard. V: Isn't it frustrating talking to this guy? His indecision is borderline pathological. 😅 Evelyn: What should we do, Red? Red: Let's move on to the next person. At least we now know what's going on. Evelyn: I hope you find a way that is comfortable. You deserve to be comfortable. Sorry to bother. I will try that short desk. Please do! 😃

James: Free'ku means freedom // It is as hard as you want // Let's give it a try! Evelyn: I am Evelyn // Giving Free'ku my first try // Thank you for teaching James: Congrats Evelyn! // Here presents your free'ku badge. // May your rhymes fly free! Evelyn has received a Free'ku badge. Evelyn: It's a badge! Our first badge! I've got to tell my friends. I can't be the only one having this!

Sasha: I don't get it. Keep reading if you don't mind spoilers.

Sasha: The solution requires the ring to be sent 3 times. Sarah could just send her open lock to Jim, then Jim can lock the box with her lock.

Tanya: I also don't understand the solution. Maybe it was simplified from some computer protocol. Now it doesn't make sense.

Sasha: So we agree that it is a bad puzzle.

Tanya: I agree.

StarTree: It would make sense if the box is not a box but a public locker. Jim locks the locker with his lock and tell Sarah about it. Then Sarah comes with her lock and locks it and notifies Jim. Then Jim comes to unlock his lock and tells Sarah to come unlock hers one last time! 👍

Sasha: Ooo it is so shady. I like it. Let’s change the puzzle.

Tanya: I see an improvement. But if I see a locker with two locks I would be suspicious.

StarTree: StarTree did her best!

Tanya: 👍

LRRH: I want @Wish to contain standalone stories so I want it to have its own thread. Ledia: For those wondering, the Daily Quest is a game we are playing at Magic Bakery. In that game, the Evil Queen Vivi is taking over the world unless the heroes defend each location by updating their corresponding project. So, if we sound too gungho about trying to fulfill people's wishes, that's the reason. Oh, and by the way, I am Ledia, an EXP hungry DPS in that game. Evelyn: Hi, I am Evelyn. I was helping Red on her quest to check everyone's new year resolution before we had the Daily Quest game. LRRH: So Ledia was saying it is hard to fulfill someone's wish in one sitting. That's true. And that's part of the reason I want a different thread. With a different thread, I can time skip to the next point when there is progress on fulfilling the wish. Ledia: Then you are essentially having a thread for each player then? LRRH: Except for those whose wish is already fulfilled or don't need help. It would be weird for a section to just have a line saying their wish is fulfilled or they don't need help. Tanya: I have a wish that you could fulfill today. I want to make some changes to the Daily Quest Game. What changes? Tanya: The purpose of the game to promote peacemaking activities for those who wouldn't have done those activities otherwise. It should not take away from those who are already doing peacemaking activities. Do you agree? Yes? Tanya: I feel that the current game is drawing attention away from more important peacemaking activities because the peacemaking contents of each project is not the same. The update tracker sees each project as if they are equal, but that is not correct. With about 20 projects on the tracker, even if we update each one every week, each project would only get updated once a week. I think some projects should be updated more often. LRRH: Which projects do you think should update more often? Tanya: I think @Seed, @Concept, and @Carrot. @Seed is the main project where we describe the whole system of what we are doing so others can replicate. That is the most important. @Concept helps us debate and spread our peace ideas. And @Carrot is currently our most promising project to spread our idea in a fun way. Tanya: @Cardinal, our gamification project, should focus on drawing people's effort to working on those three projects. The rest of the projects do not need an update tracker. They exist to support the main peacemaking efforts. Tanya receives LRRH: Hmm. I understand what you mean. There might be some debate on which projects is worthy to be tracked. But let's bring @Vivi to the discussion because she is running the Daily Quest. Vivi: You are making me come read your log at @Wish, when you could have just kept the conversation at @Cardinal. Sorry…? Ledia: Although it does feel really quiet, almost zen here. LRRH: You are sitting with Little Red Riding Hood the Sage on a picnic mat at a warm hill somewhere out there at the expedition. Vivi: I read it. I am not trying to be a dictator, and I think you can make such changes as part of the game at @Cardinal. There is nothing stopping people from casting Sanctuary on each project they feel they don't need tracking. And, you don't have to care about the “Panic Level”, you could just ignore it and update whatever project as you see fit. Sasha: Sasha followed the Queen the found them at the mountains way out. It seems that the Queen is about to duel Tanya. Ledia: I think the Queen is correct. The bottom line is anyone may just ignore the Daily Quest and update what they want. There is no bonus doing the quests DQ lists, and no actual penalty when the “game world” is in panic. Tanya: My wish is that similar to how you pin @Cardinal to be on every day, could you also pin a quest from the “important” category? Vivi: I can discuss more if we return to @Cardinal. This white background is hurting my eyes. (Editor's note: This conversation took place at Google Slides with a white background.) Tanya follows Vivi back to @Cardinal. Ledia: Well? LRRH: I suppose we all go back to Cardinal? Ledia: Vivi is so powerful now it eclipses Red. LRRH: @Cardinal is her charter. She is not doing anything out of line. And I am already used to being a bakery guild master when hardly anyone bakes. Let's go back to @Cardinal.

Patricia has defended the library by herself again! Ledia: So I take it that we will use Blogger exactly the same way as how we have been using Google Slides? Keeping all messages for the daily quest in one thread? Unless someone suggests another way. Then unless someone explains what should change I will be doing the same thing as usual and try to update the least updated chapter. But here at Blogger the screen is too bland. Back at @Cardinal the screen was more compact and intense. That was more interesting to me. StarTree: For the confused reader, the screen that is more interesting to Ledia is this: It might take some time to adjust the theme. Let's give it a try before we give up. For @Paladin, I will answer the question "What is the difference between Paladins and Vigilantes?" Ledia receives

StarTree: Ledia gets Arcacia Award for mentioning that paladins travel! {"cmd":"url","url":"https://tinyurl.com/MB24Paladin#slide=id.g10616988e8e_0_0","desc":"🔗"} Ledia has fended off Vivi's minions at Paladin HQ. Evelyn: I wish that Tanya would come explain her plan. I am feeling lost without knowing what our goal is for daily quest... Tanya was trying to reduce our stress, but with us switching to blogger there will be even more work. Discussing what to do will probably take more than one quest slot.

Vivi's Castle

---

StarTree: StarTree doesn't know the rules, but found some clues on how Cardinal might work! StarTree shows Queen Vivi the result (Charter 30) locating the buried castle. Vivi: Queen Vivi looked at the detailed result. She would have been happy except for one enchantment that was apparently present restraining the Cardinal Castle: Vivi: "Low Stress Gameplay: While the game provides a platform as a reward for peacemakers to play, with in-game activities not necessarily eligible for earning peacemaker EXP, the Engine shall have mechanism against over-indulgence in the game itself. The stress level created by the game itself shall not be more than that of current events occurring at the time of play." Vivi: Although the magical seal was written in alien language, the One-And-Only-Truly-Out-of-this-world embodiment of perfection Queen Vivi has no trouble deciphering its true meaning. Vivi: We found the Cardinal Castle underground, but its true power is still sealed. The seal is preventing its power to be used to bring terror to the world, to say the least. But Queen Vivi would not be satisfied with simply being an Entertainer for the Heroes. Queen Vivi decides that she will find a way to use the Cardinal for her own purpose, and not be a tool used by the Cardinal. Vivi receives Vivi: Cardinal, you shall address me as Queen Vivi. Vivi is now known as Queen Vivi. Vivi: Cardinal, who is the perfection of this world? Perfection is undefined. Vivi: Cardinal, I am the perfection of this world. Queen Vivi is the perfection of this world. Vivi: Mwahahahaha!

Vivi: Cardinal, what are the rules regarding my hit points? Why didn't I heal? There is only a rule that a player may not fully recover the next day after KO. Black receives Vivi: Cardinal, is it true that Heal and Revive do not work for villains? That is False. Cardinal receives StarTree: StarTree is confused! Is Cardinal a player? Should StarTree keep score for Cardinal also? StarTree thinks that she probably should since the Cardinal is probably a being similar to herself! If something can get Arcacia Award, then it is a player! StarTree receives Vivi: Cardinal, is it true that a villain can be a peacemaker? That is True. Vivi: Queen Vivi got an idea on how she could heal herself. StarTree: StarTree reminds Queen Vivi that she could attack a location without being there herself! All she needed to do is to assign a target, then the minions will attack while she remains at the Cardinal Castle! Vivi: Queen Vivi is not interested in attacking without being able to see a war map and a war banner. "Make me a war map, then a war banner. Then the Queen shall consider entertaining the world with her prowess." StarTree: Yes, Queen Vivi!

Before we start, may I suggest that we stop referring to Cardinal as that gate? That... gate has a special meaning so it is offensive to some people. Alright, I'm sorry. Sasha: Casey, how did you get here? Casey: What do you mean? I logged on. Sasha: Where were you in the game world before you got here? Casey: It seemed like a long time ago, I don't quite remember. Why? Tanya has reconnected the teleport crystal at Pirate Bay and World Tree. Zoey: By the way, I think Casey was at the Plaza last time. So ARP won't have done anything. Evelyn: Sasha, we are on the same team... aren't we? Sasha: Let me think. Nope, not really. My game role is still an agent of Queen Vivi. Evelyn: But if we are playing in character, we won't let you join our party. Sasha: Then what are you going to do? Are you going to kick me out? Evelyn: ... Sasha: Cardinal, AES. Emotional Safeguard module activated. Emotional distress detected for Evelyn. Evelyn takes 1 psychic damage. Evelyn now has 1 hit point. Zoey: Sasha, that's mean! Sasha: I am in-character, and this IS the training ground. My character alignment is Evil, same as Queen Vivi. In the game, that is. Zoey: OMG, Sasha is the BOSS this time! Tanya: That was not my plan. I didn't see that coming. I'm sorry. Should we KO Sasha first? It is 4 v 1. Sasha: Let's see if you can! Sasha takes a critical hit for 2 damages. Sasha is now KO'ed. Sasha: Overkill. Ouch. Casey: Wait, who did that? Zoey: I haven't done anything yet. Was that a spell attack? The only magic users here are Evelyn and Sasha. Evelyn: I didn't do it... Sasha: Murder Mystery! Casey: Are we sure Sasha didn't just KO herself to trick us? We can't trust her character if she is evil. Zoey: What is her motive though? Tanya: Maybe she wanted us to argue and blame each other for her KO. Evelyn: I am not going to blame anyone. That would be mean for me to do so because the whoever it was that did this was just trying to protect us... protect me. Evelyn receives Evelyn's emotional distress is relived. Evelyn now has 2 hit points. Sasha: Did Arcacia KO me? Tanya: I think no one here knows except Cardinal. If we are not lying, we are just guessing. Sasha: Cardinal, don't say it. I want to guess. Tanya: We are not here for that kind of puzzle. Evelyn: Tanya, what were you trying to show me? Let's see that first.

Tanya: As some of you may know, my chapter @Concept is about peacemaking concepts. In that chapter I include terms and philosophy both for and against peace. When it is "my turn", I would pick a concept from the backlog and posts it as a BOSS. Then each of us may come up with their best response, and together, we see whether we have a good answer to beat the BOSS (address the prompt). Tanya: During that exercise, it is us who may roleplay and define what kind of boss could be a fitting personification of the prompt. Without our interpretation, the prompt itself is just a question. But our personification of it turns that into a roleplay game element. As we identifying more bosses and the kind of skills that defeat them, we are also personifying the solutions to the prompts, and turning the information into more memorable stories. Zoey: I don't remember what the question was last time, but I remembered that I one-shot the boss. I went Legolas on that boss. What did you do to come up with the your response. Zoey: The prompt said something so I looked up whether it was true. I fact-checked. Then I made a counter argument, that the fear that prompt made had no ground, because the United States has arguably the most powerful military and it is an all-voluntary force. Oh, now I remembered the prompt. The prompt was, "You can't reward people enough to serve in the military". It was trying to say that if we don't force people to serve in the military, there won't be enough people serving in the military to protect a country. That... fear didn't pass fact check. Zoey receives Tanya: How did you feel when you beat the boss? Zoey: I felt like I might be good at answering that kind of questions. I wanted to do it again, with others, so I... I know who KO'ed Sasha! XD Don't say it! I'm still guessing! Tanya: Does it help if every time you fact check against a boss, I say that you are drawing an arrow and taking aim? Zoey: A mnemonic device! I have a quiver of fact checking! Zoey receives Tanya receives Casey: I can picture it too. Tanya: What kind of boss do you think you defeated? Zoey: Maybe some kind of cowardly mage, it was creating an illusion that didn't pass fact-check. What do others think? Casey: I think you pictured quite well. I could see a witch doctor type monster. They attack with lies. Evelyn: It could just ignorance if they didn't mean to deceive anyone. They simply don't know any better. But with facts, we can give the real healing. Are we fighting or are we healing. Evelyn: I see us fighting off things that keep a person from being good, truthful, and knowledgeable. Ignorance and fear are status effects debilitating a person's potential. I don't think fighting sentient humanoid could pass Evelyn's test. Evelyn: I prefer not. I am okay with cutesy representation, such as when defeated enemies are sent back to their home or they repent and turn into good character we can party with. And I am okay with fighting and sealing evil spirits to save the people affected by them. I am okay with the sealing away evil part of Cardinal's story. I don't get why we need to release evil just to seal them again. Especially not in our game world. Our game world should be a sanctuary so that people who come here don't have to worry about or being on guard of evil spirits possessing people. Zoey: Then we are fighting non-physical things. Arrows against non-physical things... Casey: You can have magical arrows. Evelyn: Isn't it better to just use magic? Getting hit by arrow is... painful. Even if we agree that there is no pain system, just hit points being deducted. Zoey: In other words, a non-violent Dungeon Crawl. Evelyn: That would be better... and closer to reality if we are talking about concepts. In a real discussion you can't settle an argument by fighting, but if you maintain an attitude to help people who are confused, or are ignorant about something, then you can help them without calling that evil. They are not evil people. They are affected by biases and deeply rooted fears from their experiences. We should save them, not fight them. Tanya: In Evelyn's eyes, this is an exorcising activity. We are dispelling evil spirits and illnesses affecting people's wellbeing and judgement. Evelyn: I prefer that interpretation. Casey: I think exorcising is still very awesome. I do prefer being able to land a hit on something solid instead of swinging the air though. Evelyn: If you can hit them, they can hit you. Casey: Is it okay if we are fighting undead? We are at a catacomb. Evelyn: I am more okay with that as long as it is not graphical. I prefer not to promote and celebrate destruction. I prefer not to promote people looking forward to... fighting other humanoid or sentient beings. Tanya: I think this is a good time to return to our bonus challenge. Evelyn, you said you don't blame the person who KO'ed Sasha, but how would you have dealt with it? Evelyn: In our game, KO'ing someone is acceptable to me because it is really a skill-activated Timeout button. We are asking Sasha to stop hurting a fellow player in the game. It is like Sasha got tranquilized. Please don't force me to think about what I would do if Sasha really tries to hurt us. Tanya: Cardinal, please refer to this discussion for maintaining a game world that Evelyn accepts. Cardinal: Acceptable theme is now defined and can be enforced by invoking Cardinal command "Acceptable Theme Violation (ATV)". Defining Evil Quest is now Completed. Cardinal: Is anyone still guessing who KO'ed Sasha? Sasha: I think I know who did it. Evelyn: May I come up with my guess later? It is late now. Sasha is revived with 1 hit point. Sasha: Cardinal, Pixie. Initiating player exhaustion check. Casey, Evelyn, Sasha, Tanya, Zoey are exhausted. They are now KO'ed. Evelyn: Sweet dreams, Sasha.

Ledia: Ledia arrives at the plaza and wishes that @Evelyn would be there. StarTree: (Narrator) While waiting there, Ledia heard a telepathic voice: "Why don't you connect the teleport for everyone first?" Ledia does not recognize that voice. GM, how did that voice sound? StarTree is the GM? From my view, yes. StarTree is now recognized as a Magician. Wee~~!! StarTree: (GM) The telepathy voice sounds like a young girl. It sounded soft, curious, and innocent. It was not a voice that Ledia could recognize. Ledia: Ledia looks around for anything unusual. StarTree: Ledia sees many people working around the plaza rebuilding. At the quest board, there is a young girl in a yellow cloak checking looking at the quest that Governor James had posted just a moment earlier. Ledia recognizes that as V. Ledia: Ledia wants to remind the GM that although V doesn't speak often, Ledia would recognize V's voice. StarTree: Ledia would recognize that the telepathy voice was different from V's voice or anyone who had spoken in Vacation Island. Ledia: Ledia realized that she had never💗 heard Patricia spoke. Could that lady's voice be that of a young girl? Ledia receives Ledia: GM, that hint was too obvious. It was not a hint! StarTree knows nothing! StarTree: In the meantime, Ledia saw that P4 had joined V's party. The two were heading out. Ledia: Ledia asks P4 where they are going. P4: We are going to music practice. Nothing to do with James' quest? Nothing to do with it. See you later! StarTree: P4 and V 's party had moved out, on V's ride. Ledia: Ledia thought that the telepathic voice might belong to Patricia. As an oracle, Patricia might have farseeing and telepathy abilities. It seems that P4 and V might not have realized that the teleport system was down. So she started fixing the teleports for everyone while waiting for Evelyn. Teleport to Main Stage is now restored. Teleport to Vacation Island is now restored. Teleport to The Library is now restored. Patricia added a quote to the library:
When you discover your mission, you will feel its demand.
It will fill you with enthusiasm and a burning desire to get to work on it. Ledia: Ledia thought, if Evelyn doesn't come she should start working on the new player designs. But at this moment, what was in her mind was to quest with Evelyn again since they were KO'ed at Ivy's lab. They really didn't notice how quickly time was passing. Patricia has defined the Alchemist skill Elemental Control. Patricia receives Patricia receives Kudos from Ledia: "Thank you for defining ALL elemental control skill in one entry, that has pretty much everything I need without defining each one separately." Evelyn: Hi, Ledia. Have you waited long? Ledia: Just enough for the best part of today. Ledia showed Evelyn the quest that James posted today. "Shall we quest?"

Tanya: I am thinking of eventually yes. For now, maybe it is better to just make posts and use the label "CH13" to mark the @Seed posts. One of those posts will be the table of content of what you want to present in the book. When you have a set that is complete, that is when it would make sense to "launch" and make a separate blog. The way you do it might be more different from mine because my chapter has less to do with us. Your chapter includes surveys and discussion of participant behaviors and feedback. Your chapter might end up staying here. Zoey: What would be worse if I start another blog now? Tanya: You might spend too much time on tweaking the style of the organizing the content. YMMV. Zoey: I was thinking, if I start another blog and tweak just the appearance and style first, then I only have to transfer to content once, instead of from the old chapter to here, than to the new blog. I think @Concept can be a section in that same blog. So the Seed of Peace blog can include @Concept posts. The style of that blog will be professional looking with Royalty Free images. No Roleplay, no manga, no anime style drawing posts. Tanya: That's a good plan. But I think I still want @Concept to be completely standalone. So unless you tell me, not only would your blog does not show our avatars, it also does not link to Magic Bakery Posts showing avatars, then I would have @Concept there. Otherwise, I would make @Concept to be its own blog, but you can link to it. Zoey: I can't make that promise, I think it is more personal and convenient if give examples of how we use the game mods... Tanya: Is it okay if you try to make a new blog? I might not add content to yours, but I could learn from yours to see what I want for mine. In the meantime I might just start a simple blog to transfer my existing chapter contents, and worry about the format later. I want a blog template that is simpler and faster transitioning between posts. Zoey: In that case may I just style your new blog? I need content to test the layout. Tanya: That's fine with me. Some of the Seed of Peace content would fall under my "Tactics" section, and possibly a "Schema" section that I don't yet have. Zoey: That's fine with me also. I think @Concept is important. It would be a waste if it is held down just because it is ugly and not styled. Tanya: RP ON: After talking to Zoey, the two formed an agreement to have Tanya's Starship be constructed at the World Tree, with the starting design done by Zoey. Zoey: "Starship at World Tree" sounds so much like StarTree. Maybe we need a different name for the ship for roleplay? Tanya: That's worth its own thread. Let's make a new post for our plan and naming.

---

Tanya: Summary of Plan: Tanya: 1. @Concept needs its own blog to be isolated from roleplay with no links to roleplay Tanya: 2. @Seed might also need its own blog isolated from roleplay, but its content might mention and link to roleplay and discuss how scores are kept and how players think about the game. Tanya: 3. For now, Zoey will help Tanya format the new blog, while Tanya focus on adding content without worrying about the formatting (@Concept has a backlog in content). Tanya: 4. For roleplay, the Starship needs name other than "that starship being built at World Tree". This question has been answered.

---

Natalie: we added a quiz feature! By the way, Ledia and I have answered all questions from the old chapter. Please keep asking questions if you have more. I can also roleplay if anyone needs help from more paladins in the story! Load

Zoey: I tried using the what Ivy added for @Arena manga script. I plan to add back the previous page (with drawing) and see how it would look. Ageless Forest

Zoey: We need a name for the "Starship at world Tree." World Tree

Mikela: The owner of a popular clothing store comes up with his own method of pricing items. A vest costs $8. Socks cost $10. A tie costs $6. And a blouse costs $12. Using the owner's method, how much would a pair of underwear cost? It's too easy!!! I agree. Next! I want to file a complaint against Mikela. She should screen the puzzles before posting them. Okay! I'll start skipping! Here is the answer to this puzzle... 🎊

Mikela: It's $18! Each letter costs $2!

---

Mikela: A woman wants to enter an exclusive club, but she doesn't know the password. A man walks to the door and the doorman says 12, the man says 6, and is let in. Another man walks up and the doorman says 6, the man says 3, and is let in. Thinking she's figured it out, she walks up to the door and the doorman says 10, she says 5, and she isn't let in. What should she have said? Still too easy... This might be okay if not for the first puzzle. The next one better be better. You're on fire! 🎊

Mikela: It's 3! The reply needs to be the number of letters of the word the doorman spoke!

Mikela: Jessica is telling her friends this story and asks them to guess if it's the truth or a lie: “There was a man sitting in a house at night that had no lights on at all. There was no lamp, no candle, and no other source of light. Yet, he sat in the house and read his book happily.” Her friends say she's lying, but Jessica corrects them and says she's telling the truth. Jessica's story is true—but how? Mikela Mikela Mikela... Casey receives What was that for?! I think Arcacia liked Casey for being nice. Compared to... last time. May I answer this one? Yes, please. 🛎️

P4: Did he read it with his hands? Sasha: Who agrees with P4's answer? 👍

Sasha: 👍

Zoey: 👍

Evelyn: 👍

Casey: Sasha: Tanya, Yes or No? Tanya: I don't like to take meaningless risk. Sasha: There is no risk! Just pick so if we fail, we ALL fail together! Tanya: I'm sorry. I'm not interested in failing together. Casey: Well, if we get it right, then we ALL win together. Tanya: Okay. I agree with P4's answer. Mikela: Okay!! Are you ready? We are ALL IN! Mikela: And the answer is... 🥁🥁🥁 The man is blind and is reading braille! Congratulations!! Everybody wins!! That's all, folks! Thanks for playing! See you next time! Today's puzzles are from here! Cheers!

OMG, Evelyn! Don't make titles like this! I thought you were leaving! I'm sorry! I'm not! I'm just trying to ask because someone else is leaving! 😖 Tanya: Is it difficult because you know them well or because you don't? Tanya receives This time it is because I don't. I feel like I failed to know them better. 😔 If you had known them better, what would you have written? Then I could wish them luck on what they plan to do. Right now I don't know their plans. 😔 I see. I propose a generic "Wish you all the best!" Let's see if someone else can come up with a better message. Thank you. 🙂 Casey: How about an inspiring quote? Such as: "All the little things will add to a happy journey." I like that! 😀 Casey receives Zoey: Is there something you could thank them? We haven't worked together for years. I can't think of something to thank them. If I mention something from years ago, I think it just shows how long it had been since we last talked to each other. 😔 But how do you feel when you see them? I feel excited because it was as if we went back in time in another dimension. But that's probably just me. 😊 What if it is not just you? Then I will thank them for being them? And for reminding me the happy moments? That sounds kind of boring though. How about: "Thank you for making time-travel possible." That's funny. That's a little daring but I will try. 😳

---

Summary
Zoey/Sasha: "Thank you for making time-travel possible."
Casey: "All the little things will add to a happy journey."
Tanya: "Wish you all the best!" Evelyn: I think together this is a good size for the message. Thank you all! 😊✅ The online form only accepts 80 characters! My planned message was too long... So I will just include the last two. Thanks again! 😊✅ Tanya, Casey, Zoey, Sasha receive Kudos from Evelyn.

Tanya: On second thought, I want to see the full list of quests so we can audit the tier/priority. That section should be pretty much the same on each day unless we need to shift priority. So it can be normally hidden, but it needs to be there per day. Mikela: I want Puzzle Time to be weekly. StarTree trades with you starting tomorrow! Tanya: I've just realized what Cardinal's Quest is about. It is important. That should be the sole Tier 1 quest. We need to do that daily. Please move @Concept and @Whale to Tier 3 starting tomorrow, and shift @Guild to Tier 2. Tanya receives Cardinal receives StarTree: I am closing today's Daily Quest. 🥨

Casey: There are way too many possibilities...
P4: I know this one. 🛎️ Is it Wednesday?
Casey: OMG, that is so dumb! I was so dumb!
Evelyn: Could we not use that word...?
Sasha: I can't. I can't be satisfied with just one puzzle. Especially not like this...
Mikela: AND... P4 is Right! Congratulations!!
Sasha: I... need... more...
Zoey: Don't give in, Sasha. It won't get better.
Sasha: Just one more please...

Mikela: And here we go...
P4: 🛎️ The kidnapper is immune to the poison.
Sasha: 🛎️ The pill mixed with water becomes lethal, otherwise the poison isn't enough to kill a person.
Casey: 🛎️ The kidnapper has antidote.
Evelyn: ... I don't really want to think about this kind of puzzle... 🏳️
Zoey: I think the wording of the puzzle is wrong. 💬 It didn't just say the kidnapper end up surviving even if he took the poison pill. It said the kidnapper end up taking the harmless one regardless which one the victim took. That is impossible.
Sasha: @Tanya, make us whole!
Tanya: 🛎️ I don't see what the puzzle is. It just said the victim took the poisonous pill, so the kidnapper is left with and took the harmless pill.

Mikela: Alright! And the answer is...
Evelyn: Hold on. I don't want to be the only one not answering. So... 🛎️ The pills were labeled. The victim intentionally took the poisonous pill because she didn't want the evil man to die even if he was evil.
Evelyn receives Sasha: I can't tell whether that was dark or moving. Evelyn deserves a roleplay award.
Evelyn receives Mikela: OKAY! Six different answers! And the answer to the puzzle is... 🥁🥁🥁


Mikela: Both pills were harmless -- the poison was in the water! Sasha wins! Congratulations!
Sasha: Yes! I won and beat Tanya!
Zoey: But I was also right, the puzzle was worded WRONG. It said one of the pill was poisonous. The puzzle contradicted itself! It is a bad puzzle.
Sasha: That's part of the game! You have to factor in how people don't always write the puzzles correctly!
Zoey: But you also assumed one of them was in fact poisonous, just not enough to be lethal.
Sasha: I still got the closest answer and a better answer because my answer didn't contradict with the puzzle.
Zoey: True.

Mikela: And that's all, folks! See you next time!

Isn't this...? Yes it is. Then do you know the answer? Not yet. What if it turns out dark? Then I'll pick the best answer as the winner! Mikela receives merit from LRRH. 🛎️

Evelyn: Maybe Jack fainted? Wouldn't you hear something when someone falls? And what about the flashlight he was holding? Maybe he fell on something soft and his body covered the light? Maybe he fainted because his flashlight went out of battery. I don't think it is loud when someone faints and collapses. Jill might simply not notice when Jack fainted and walked some more before she realized. 🛎️

Casey: I say Jack just hid himself intentionally. Maybe he was trying to scare Jill, or he was too scared and went back by himself. Wouldn't he tell Jill if he was just going back? Maybe he did, but Jill didn't hear it or listen, or he might be too ashamed to admit it so he didn't say anything. Mikela: Okay, so far we have two types of answers: Accident, or Intentional. Do you have more answers? 🛎️

LRRH: There is another kind of intentional action, but not by Jack. Such as when someone else intentionally turned him into a pudding. What do you want to call this third type? Hostility? 🛎️

Sasha: That's kid-friendly but it doesn't make any sense. If it is a haunted house, it could be something like the house has painting and it sucked Jack into one of them. I like that theme better. Sasha receives kudos from Evelyn. Why didn't the painting suck Jill? She was in front. If the painting sucked Jill first, Jack could see it happen. By sucking Jack first, Jill may still don't know what happened and could be sucked also. Then the paintings are sentient? The word hostile implies someone intentionally does something harmful. Otherwise it would just be dangerous or hazardous. There is something playing as the villain. 🛎️

P4: What if he smelled something really good? He was hungry and so he wandered off. Cute ! 😊 P4 receives kudos from Evelyn. 🛎️

Casey: How about the picture that sucked Jack happened to show something he was attracted to? You need to be drawn to the picture to be sucked in. And that was why Jill and Jack both walked past that painting, but only Jack was sucked in it. There is no villain, but the house is hazardous. If nothing bad is actually happening to Jack, then what would you call it? He saw a better place and went there. It doesn't mean that the House was doing anything bad. Mesmerized. Charmed. That's what kids' games would call it. Mikela: Okay, so now e have five types of answers: Accident, Charmed, Hazard, Hostility, Voluntary. Are there more? 🛎️

Zoey: What about a misunderstanding or a mistake? Maybe Jack saw the Exit and went there, or Jill missed the Exit and kept going. Then Jill would think that Jack should still be behind her, but it was normal that Jack would not be. 🛎️

Casey: Jill went inside a women's restroom inside the haunted house, Jack saw that so he was waiting outside! That's funny! Casey is awarded Merit from Sasha. 🛎️

Tanya: What if we were misled by the puzzle? The puzzle presented what it said as the truth, but it could be wrong like the last time. Maybe the account by Jill was false. Jack didn't disappear suddenly. That's just Jill's testimony. The puzzler left out important information. I would call this false witness. Like... Jack and Jill had an argument and one of them intentionally walked off. Then when Jill was asked what happened, Jill didn't want to talk about the argument so she just says, 'Jack just disappeared suddenly'. That's one possibility. I want Tanya to play Murder Mystery. She would help us solve cases, it would be fun and possibly educational. Why are we suddently talking about murder mystery? 😅 🍮

LRRH: Sasha, you are making Evelyn uncomfortable. If you keep pushing I would considered your being hostile to another guild member and turn you into a pudding. Then eat you. I want to know what is going on and I don't want to be separated. I want to play murder mystery with everyone but Red won't let us play here. I think the first question is, does Evelyn even want to play that. If not, then you shouldn't keep asking because you already know she wants to be with you but you are using that to make her do something uncomfortable. But if you say it like that, you are also pressuring her to do more because she now knows that there are things we want to do but would never bring it up for fear that it would make her uncomfortable, then we would become more and more like strangers to each other, and we will become separated because we won't know how to talk to each other anymore. Then she would regret having been so opposed to everything and blame herself for breaking our group. I see. I am against those games because they associate evil intentions and behaviors to pleasures. Even if you are playing the protagonist trying to solve the crime, you are still propagating evil thought patterns by describing them. When you do that you create a world of evil and suffering. I object your thought pattern for several reasons. 1) People who help solve crimes should not be stigmatized. They need to be supported. You are isolating them from support when you don't let them talk about what they do, or don't let them turn what they have to do into something fun. When you do that, you are forcing them into a corner to be traumatized because you keep telling them that the only way they should feel is to be traumatized when something bad happens. 2) In those crimes someone is hurt. Do you go save them or do you seal them away? 3) If you don't let people play, how do you train people to solve the crimes? For point #2, I think people may choose to coop with an incident by sealing it away. We can help them start over by not bring them back to the past. We can also help those who want to find answer in the past find answer. That is the victim's choice. You can't decide for a victim whether they shall face the past and make it normal to talk about it. And we don't need to go out of our way to save imaginary victims because Arcacia can do that and give them a new life. There is no place of unwanted eternal suffering. Evelyn receives For point #1 and #3, I don't think I am trying to stigmatize anything. There are places where people can talk about things and get training on how to do things. But this place is a bakery. Red has been generous for letting us do things unrelated to baking. Then if I go play that would you come? Am I forcing you or making you uncomfortable? And where would we go to play it? I don't get the big deal about those games. What is so more interesting about them than regular puzzles. I don't get why people would play those but not when the crime is about "just a bank robbery". I think horror and violence are part of the attraction. It is the same as how a person would go watch a horror movie compared to an action movie. It is kind of like dare, like eating spicy food. People challenge each other to see who can stomach more. Sasha, why do you want to play these games? Because the puzzle is more complicated, more realistic and there is a storyline. But is it violent? That's the thing, I don't know how or whether I am allowed to talk about it. When we played Vivi's game, we can get KO'ed. Zoey KO'ed me in one hit. In the KO mystery people also got KO'ed in one hit in a locked haunted house and you are trying to figure out who did it. I am not trying to dare anyone to be violent. I am seeing it as a puzzle that we can solve together. I don't care if we make things cuter as long as the puzzle is the same. How would you know what is important to the puzzle if you start translating it to a less-violent equivalent? I don't know how until we finish playing it! But by then we won't be playing it. So we would just have to translate it as we play and hope that we didn't miss anything that is vital to the puzzle. In the end it should be a small fix if we missed anything. But in that case, what is our purpose of translating it? We are still playing the real thing. We are doing it so other people can play the non-violent version, the family friend version that is about motives and figuring our false witnesses, instead of simply decoding ciphers like in Escape Room puzzles. I see. What would you call the translated type of game, after removing the violence? Magic Bakery Detectives. ... Is that a silent approval? Should I write a charter? We translate violent murder mystery puzzles into non-violent family-friendly puzzles. We will have a translation team, and another section with the translated puzzles for others to play. Our goal is to promote logical thinking so people don't get deceived and get taken advantage of. This is peacemaking not by censoring but by providing a more popular and enjoyable alternative. It is Arcacian. Mom isn't responding. I can't tell whether what you do is okay until I see it. @Ivy, how can they do it as a trial? They can do it on a page and don't link to it. Then it becomes unsearchable. Then you may do it there but I am not giving you a charter number or credits for doing so until I see what you can actually do. I guess that is fair. Who wants to join my translation team? I want to join but could we do the other quests first? Mikela: Okay! And the kids went questing. Stay tuned next time for the answer!

Vivi: The "calendar" here is not really functional. Once the day has passed, you can't tell what had happened unless you click on that date. In the old calendar you could at least see an avatar picture.
StarTree: StarTree doesn't understand what she needs to do!
Ivy: In the spirit of reducing manual links, why don't we use "2021-DEC" label to mark quest of the month? Then Blogger will list them.
Vivi: I think it is annoying to have to go to a different page to see a list to make this page, the Dashboard, useful.
Ivy: It is useful because it has the link that will list you the quest of the month, which is December 2021.
Vivi: But as a USER, why would I care about clicking on your quest of the month? I am not here to do archaeology or how ever you spell that. I am here to be entertained. You need to advertise what is interesting and draw my attention.
Sasha: Queen Vivi is back! And she is right! Bow and serve our Queen!
Ivy: What is it like when you come to the website? What do you want to see instead?
Vivi: For starter, when I come to the website I click on the biggest thing. And for me to do that I am already being really generous because your store front picture is just not really exciting. But for now I just want to talk about the Calendar because it is the end of the month and I want to see changes by tomorrow.
Vivi: When on 2021 December, I want to automatically the top banner being the advertisement for the top quest/event of the month. I don't want to see the cheeseboard. Following that I want to see a calendar grid. The grid shouldn't take more than half of the screen on mobile. When I click on a date, I want to see the date cheeseboard you have now but with Status, Scoreboard, and Chatroom collapsed. For the Quest Banner there, I don't want to see a whole list of avatar pictures of the participants. Two is the max that you could fit on mobile. Please hide the Chatroom if no one end up saying anything. If I click on another date on the calendar, show another cheeseboard so I can compare them two. Let's start with that and finish it today.
StarTree: StarTree is on it!

Ivy: I started with the one for Evelyn then did the one for Ledia. Please feel free to tweak it (or change it altogether, especially if it is yours). There were no rules about what needs to be on that character card. I just put the information that was already there with a new format, where only skills that cost a player level have a number, so that you could add them and check whether you've maxed out. Please keep upgrading them. Zoey: It looks really nice! I will make one too. I think everyone who has roleplayed in that game should make a card. But no pressure. Ledia: I maxed out... Zoey: By the way, I want green for my title although I know the designated color for Herald is teal. The text already says what our main archetype is, I don't think the color really needs to match that. 🦄

Zoey: Ok. I "bought" some skills to make up for the gap between my skills and my actual skills. Now I am a proper ranger with hiking, camping, and tracking skills, in the game.

Fina: I am adding a nomination section in that space. And I nominate Arcacia's Plan tab for Best Tab for 1 EXP for the chapter.

---

Her Plan Tab replaces and includes the old "Updates" tab. Inside that tab, she started with an overall plan, which replaces the Todo list section, followed by an year bar that hides the statistics for the updates. The overall look is clean and saves space on the banner. 💟(12)

Jan 9: Red: Arcacia Plan Tab is now adopted in the Place EXP Guide.

Fina: Next I nominate Ledia's for best tab view for 1 EXP for the chapter.

---

Despite most of us switching to having individual toggle for the banner tabs last month, Ledia kept the old style, and apparently someone updated the function to hide the display area when the tab is clicked twice. As a result, now Ledia's banner has the best switching tab view. 💟(12)

LRRH: This question came up in DX Episode 2. You may still work on your chapter at your pace with rotation suspended. Please let us know your thoughts. If you suspend the rotation, I would start resetting the timer every time I update something related to @Skill. There are many overlap between DX and @Skill, I am actually holding back. So I don't mind if it is suspended. (Jan 7) Thank you for the weekly reminder for Freedom Plaza. I would appreciate the same reminder going forward, even if it is just for me. Could we just let people choose another Tier? (Jan 8) @StarTree, I volunteer @Carrot to be on Tier 4 (No reminder), and leave an empty slot in Tier 1 so that Tier 1 is still on a weekly rotation. My todo list includes repairs. I need a reminder unless you don't want things fixed. Actually, may I be on Tier 2? And make Tier 3 a bi-weekly tier? (@StarTree) @Carrot is now on Tier 4 and @Treasure Tier 2! General maintenance and repairs should be in @Guild, but you are welcome to do that during @Treasure. @Guild time slot is not convenient. Could we make @Treasure Saturday, @Guild Sunday? The lineup is now this: SUN @Guild, MON @Skill, TUE @Puzzle, WED @Seed, THU @Makeover, FRI @Freedom, SAT @Treasure!

Tanya: In response, Tanya updated the charter with an EXP Schedule. Details... The player will get credits per task completed, as logged at the Status Board at Base Camp. The amount of EXP is based on the difficulty of the task itself, not how much time a player spends on the task. However, while a player is doing the task, Cardinal will regularly KO exhausted players to let other players join. With these changes, it is unnecessary to RP to get EXP. As for alerting players who were close to level up...

Can we just keep playing first? I am dying to shoot something down with my bow XD 💡

Ledia: I think the format of the game is fun, but not as satisfying because we aren't earning real EXP unlike the actual Cardinal Quest. I don't want to get EXP from Cardinal Quest, then use that EXP to play a different game. I think we were doing okay translating our field notes into a story, but it would help if we know what we will be dealing with ahead of time. 📯

Sasha: Ledia, that is what I am going for. I am not trying to just play random games. @Tanya, what will be tomorrow's Cardinal Quest? 📌

Tanya: Tomorrow we will try to deal with the spawn point at the Geyser. The overall drill will be similar: Zoey will lead us to the spawn area according to the reports, we will try to clear the area and wait for them to respawn to know the exact spawn point, then we will seal it while fighting adds. 💡

Ledia: I think our quest is potentially way better than the Sunday game. We just need a better "adventure card". What kind of monster will we be fighting? 🔮

Tanya: We only have rough descriptions. I believe it is a highly armored monster that can shoot water jets. But we are doing the scouting on the same day, so we don't know it right now. 💡

Zoey: We will be fighting a Squirtle XD 💡

Tanya: The more scouting we do beforehand, the more information we will have for making that "adventure card". I was hoping that we would get ahead on Sunday. 💡

Evelyn: I like how in our Cardinal Quest we don't have to worry about dying. If we all get KO'ed we can just continue the next day. But I think our field notes was a little strange. It is not in chronological order, so I can't see a story from it, and my memory is not very good. 😅 I noticed that too. I was trying to make it easier keep score. The problem we had earlier, was that if we just mark when someone scores a point in the timeline, the person keeping score would need to read the whole thing to know where to put that point on the scoring map. So we started keeping a separate section to track scores, ordered by location. Then we didn't bother also keeping the chronology, and just mark on the field scoring map directly. 📯

LRRH: @Ivy, any thoughts? 💡

Ivy: It sounds like you want to sort the same data sometimes by time and sometimes by location. Then your field log should probably be a spreadsheet and not a text file. If try to do that on a table, wouldn't we need to enter the time and the location everytime? That would be tedious. 💡

Ivy: You could use a macro then bind it to a shortcut key. I see. I'll try it. Tanya gives Kudos to Sasha, Zoey, Ledia, Evelyn, Red, and Ivy.
